IKEA - Portland, OR Review

We just got an IKEA store and let me tell you.....there is something for everyone.  And that something is going to be cheaper at IKEA than anywhere else.  IKEA is a mega store of housewares and furniture.  You could put together the entire inside of a house together just from IKEA alone, from the floors to the artwork, from the faucets to the spoons.

 IKEA is a self-service store in which you pretty much have to help yourself.  You pick up bigger items at the end of your shopping experience and take them home and put them together at home.  I find directions for these items to be easy to understand and everything is included.  However, if you buy a small item to hang, such as a coat rack, they don't come with the hardware so you have to buy the screws elsewhere which is kind of annoying.

The prices at IKEA cannot be beat, anywhere, especially for the quality.  Ya, the place is busy, items can be out of stock or hard to find, and you may have a long walk from your parking space, but in my opinion, it's worth it.  Go with a list and expect to add 20 more items to your cart!
